My phone buzzed on the bedside table, pulling me out of my dreamless sleep. Maddox lay beside me, deep in sleep; his face peaceful as he turned to lay on his side. I clutched my phone, turning down the brightness to allow my eyes to adjust slowly as I looked at the time. 7:00 AM, too early for a Saturday morning. An unknown number flashed across the screen with a message beneath it.
Hi, it's Elias. I spoke to my boss about the job and he is able to arrange an interview today. Give me a call when you get this.
I clicked on his number, listening as the phone rang twice before he answered.
"Hi Fae, I didn't expect a call so soon. Did I wake you?" Elias questioned as I raised the phone to my ear, sitting up against the headboard.
"No, no it's fine, I've been up for a while, " I lied, not wanting to make him feel guilty.
"Oh okay, good! My boss said he can fit you in for an interview at 2 that's if you're alright with that?" He asked politely.
"That's perfect, can you text me the address please?" I kept my voice low as Maddox sighed heavily in his sleep beside me.
"Sending it over now,"
I thanked him quickly before ending the call and placing my phone face down on the bedside table. I slid myself down slowly to lay back beside Maddox. He groaned sleepily as he turned to face me, blinking his eyes open. His lips twitched into a smile as he settled his eyes on mine.
"Good morning beautiful," He mumbled, reaching his hand out to cup my cheek. I traced my finger over his tiger tattoo that lined his forearm before he pulled me towards him, placing his lips gently on mine. My hand trailed up and into his hair, running my fingers through it softly as I rested my head on
It was around lunchtime by the time the sun peering through the curtains woke us again. I took a quick shower before joining Maddox downstairs for breakfast.
"Well good morning you two, " Carly announced cheerily as she waltzed down the stairs and into the kitchen. She flicked her eyes between me and Maddox before focusing on me with a smirk covering her lips.
Maddox plated up a full cooked breakfast onto two plates, placing them in front of me and Carly before dishing up his own. A remarkably attractive man who can cook too.
"So what's the plan for today?" Maddox asked, nudging my elbow as I scraped up the last of my scrambled egg onto my fork.
"I have a job interview at 2," I told him before taking a sip of my orange juice.
"But we could do something after, " I continued, watching as he shifted in his chair.
"A job? Where?" He pressed, his tone was sharp as he waited intently for an answer.
